What are the main ingredients in Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser?

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser has been crafted with gentle but effective ingredients to rid skin of impurities without stripping moisture. Rich in Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, this cleanser’s natural ingredients work together to soothe and heal skin, leaving it with a soft-to-touch finish.

How to use Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser

Dampen face with warm water.

Apply one pump of the cleanser directly to skin and massage into the skin.

Can be used over the eye area.

Remove with a warm, damp face cloth.

Double-cleanse in the evening to ensure skin is thoroughly cleansed.

Who should use Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser?

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser is suitable for all skin types due to the gentle formulation. It’s particularly good for sensitive skin, dry skin, and skin conditions such as eczema and rosacea. The three-in-one Balancing Cleanser replaces the need for separate makeup remover, eye makeup remover, cleanser, and toner products.

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser helps control sebum levels, so it’s ideal for oily skin. Balancing Cleanser also makes a great acne face wash, as it effectively rids skin of acne-causing bacteria to reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts.

Is Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser suitable for dry skin?

Those with dry skin may struggle to find cleansers that don’t strip skin of moisture. Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser is the perfect choice, as it has a rich and creamy formula to nourish skin and lock in hydration.

After using many different skin care brands and mostly all of them having the same result of drying out my skin when washing my face, I was so amazed by this product as my skin was left feeling so soft and definitely no dry spots! Definitely will be ordering more and so happy I found a cleanser that actually works! :)

Gentle for my sensitive skin - 15-01-2019
by Bonnie

I felt my previous cleanser was drying my skin out, so bought this one after reading the good reviews. It didn't have any negative reaction to my sensitive skin at all and I found it nice and hydrating. I have to pre-cleanse if I'm wearing makeup as it doesn't always come off in the first round. Overall a good quality product which I will buy again.

Nice - 15-01-2019
by Emma

Found this to be much creamier than the 'cleansing milk' description. nice and hydrating for skin, doesn't irritate and smells very subtle which i like. For me though it didn't help with my primary concern which is hormonal congestion.

Gentle but thorough - 14-01-2019
by Nish

This is by far the best cleanser I have ever used. It's gently washes away every trace of makeup, oil, grime - and is great to use as a double cleanse too, and lovely to massage into the skin and leave on as a mask. I have sensitive, combo skin and this cleanser seems to keep my skin clear, while also nourished and hydrated. It's so affordable compared to similar products so I will definitely be purchasing again.

Repeat purchaser! - 29-12-2018
by Megan

I love this cleanser! So creamy and easy to lather into the skin, it doesn’t have that drying or tightening effect that many other cleansers have after removing makeup. My partner and I both use it daily in the shower, so I’d say it’s a good unisex cleanser as it doesn’t have a strong feminine scent and seems to help his dry skin from shaving. I combine this cleanser with the alpha h micro scrub with peppermint and glycolic acid, as well as their hydration cream and I’m really happy with the combined effect although I think this cream cleanser is a great stand alone product if you’re looking to kick start your skin care routine.

Light cleanser - 29-12-2018
by Irma

The texture of this cleanser is milky and leaves your skin really hydrated. The only criticism I have is that it doesn’t remove all makeup if you haven’t used a makeup remover first

Great for sensitive skin - 20-12-2018
by Caitlin

Love this cleanser and is one of the best I have ever used! Great for sensitive skin but still removes makeup effectively. Leaves skin feeling clean and fresh.

Very calming for irritated skin - 17-12-2018
by Sel

Loved this cleanser! I've been using the Alpha-H cleanser daily for around 2 months now. My skin was very dry and sensitive and it improved my skin a lot.

aMAZING! - 14-12-2018
by Yasemin

A soothing, gentle lotion-like cleanser. My skin feels fresh and soft after usage. It doesn’t feel like my skin has been stripped of its moisture like some foaming cleansers tend to do. However, I find that it is insufficient on it’s own especially if you have combo skin with medium pores like me. Even on days where i have only a light dust of powder on my face i find it doesn’t remove it completely.

Creamy and smells lovely - 12-12-2018
by Laurel

Love using this cleanser day and night. It takes residual make up off and soothes at night, but refreshes in the morning. Light creamy texture that feels really luxurious, and lovely smell.

Creamy clean - 11-12-2018
by Kerryn

The alpha h balancing cleanser has a creamy texture and pleasant neutral scent. It works wonders on my combination skin, leaving it feeling fresh, clean and ready for the other products in my skincare routine.

Great creamy cleanser but not for me - 06-12-2018
by Michelle

For anyone looking for a gentle, creamy cleanser....look no further. Smells nice, great for washing off makeup. Personally, I prefer gel cleansers over the cream ones but would definitely recommend this to cream lovers

Best ever! - 06-12-2018
by Bec

I bought this for my boyfriend who suffers from psoraisis. He described it as the only thing he has ever used that has worked. I started using it when my face was feeling sensitive, and it's now my daily cleanser. It cleanses away makeup and dirt without leaving my face red, tight or dry. Love it!

Don’t help my skin - 05-12-2018
by J

I tried this after all the amazing reviews but I didn’t see any effect on my sensitive skin and it just didn’t clean well enough

Best face wash I've used - 27-11-2018
by Liv

I have oily, dehydrated skin and this is the best face wash I've used. Breaks down makeup so well and doesn't sting my eyes, and really cleans my face without drying it out.

Great Cleanser that does not strip your skin - 26-11-2018
by Sarah

This cleanser is a nice cream consistency that gently cleanses your skin without stripping your skin. After using this my skin feels clean, soft and smooth. It does not leave my skin feeling tight or stripped. I love that this product.I have normal/combination skin and I find this product works great for me. I absolutely adore the packaging of the whole Alpha-H range as I find it looks simple but luxurious. I have had this product for 3-4 months and I still haven't gotten to the end of it.

Nice touch with the aloe - 24-11-2018
by Isobel

This is the perfect cleanser, leaving your face feel soft and clean but not dry or harsh. You can use it to clean out your skin pre mask, take off the day, or remove hard to budge makeup! Love the Aloe smell, and its gentler on the face!

Gentle but effective! - 22-11-2018
by Grace

Good for in-between skin, very refreshing in the morning!

Wouldn't recommend for very oily skin - 15-11-2018
by Emma

I have very oily skin and found that this product wasn't suitable for me during hot weather. But it really works for me during winter. It cleanses without overly drying my skin. Would recommend for all skin types - just not all year round for very oily skin.

The best cream cleanser! - 02-11-2018
by Bindia

I am not normally someone who likes cream cleansers, as I don't normally see results. BUT OMG this cleanser is amazing. It moisturisers your skin and leaves the texture so smooth.

I have dry skin and this does not make my skin feel tight at all, something I have struggled with other cleansers in the past.

The light fragrance of this is subtle and clean, and the texture of the cream is very light - it does not fizz up which I love.

Will be repurchasing this 100%.

LOVE - 29-10-2018
by Penelope

Great product, I got the other cleanser and found some of the other products a little oily on so I got this one to balance out my skin and it works a treat.

Smooth soft skin - 19-10-2018
by Abbey

My review will be based upon my first impression of a 15 mL sample I received.

It's definitely a true cream cleanser - it's very thick and white in colour. You only need a pea sized amount to use. I also loved that it didn't sink into my skin, like some cream cleansers do, so I never had to apply more cleanser. I didn't need to wash my face twice either - it removed all makeup in one go.

It's very gentle on the skin, my skin was left very smooth and soft after cleansing. So it's quite enjoyable to use. The scent is pretty much that of aloe vera - which so happens to be the third ingredient on the ingredients list.

Nice creamy cleanser - 16-10-2018
by Jessica

This is great if you want an effective cream cleanser. I find it does a relatively good job of removing makeup, but not sure how it would fare with waterproof mascara. Quite gentle

Great cleanser - 11-10-2018
by Nic

This creamy cleanser is no too heavy for my combination skin. It leaves it hydrated and not tight at all. Great for removing eye makeup too.

It does balance like it's name - 01-10-2018
by Sujan

I like how it doesn't dry out my skin. It cleans my skin perfectly and leave it ready to apply my skin care. It is effective cleanser for the combination skin like mine.

Very gentle - 28-09-2018
by Shayma

Nice product for sensitive skin, cleans skin leaving it to still feel hydrated.
My skin is both dry and sensitive and this product is perfect

BEST CLEANSER - 26-09-2018
by Nicole

Best cleanser I have ever used. I have been using it for 2 years. With every use my skin feels so fresh and clean. It is very gentle on the skin which is perfect for my sensitive skin. Smells awesome and a little product goes a long way.

Best cleanser ive ever used - 24-09-2018
by Alice

I started using this product a year ago and ive never looked back! This cleanser is a life saver and is perfect for my dry and sensitive skin. It leaves it so soft and clean! highly recommend!!

Soft and nourishing - 20-09-2018
by Kaylah

This product is great for my oily skin, it clears my pores and still leaves me feeling hydrated and moisturised. It's so smooth and definitely a new favourite.

Disappointed - 17-09-2018
by CHRISTINE

I really wanted to like this cleanser. However, I have very sensitive skin with rosacea
and every time I used this cleanser it would make my face very red and sore and itchy. My face broke out in red blotches all over. After a couple of uses I just had to stop using it . Bit disappointing considering I had read all the wonderful reviews about how 'gentle' the product was prior to purchasing it. Perhaps it would be suited to a more normal skin. Unfortunately - not for my very sensitive reactive skin. There must be an ingredient in this product that makes my skin react.

I love it! - 05-09-2018
by Amber

I love this product. I have oily and acne prone skin and by using it daily with a brush head my skin clears within three days, it also leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean after every use. Remove my makeup nicely too and isn’t rough on the skin. Would 10/10 recommend if you have oily or acne prone skin

Good, But not great - 24-08-2018
by Faye

Good overall cleanser, removes make up as well
found that being a cream cleanser was too heavy and didn't leave me with that 'clean' feel, face was tight after and dry after cleansing, probably wouldn't purchase again, not great for dry skin even though says its suitable for dry skin.

Grown to love this! - 14-08-2018
by Madi

At first, I wasn't sure about this cleanser as it broke me out a little and I thought it was 'too heavy' - I was so wrong! My skin probably wasn't used to a cream cleanser as I've always used foaming but this one is so much better than anything I've tried. it removes ALL of my make up which is usually pretty hard and time-consuming as I wear heavy makeup for work etc. it leaves my skin feeling so balanced and fresh and not dry at all which can happen especially in winter. I can't believe I didn't like this cleanser at one point because I love it now!

Nice but didn't wow me - 10-08-2018
by Shelia

I enjoyed using this light creamy cleanser which has a low pH (5.5 tested using pH strips). It has a fresh clean scent and my skin did not feel dry afterwards. This would be nice for normal to combination skin types who want a simple yet effective cleanser.

Good - 08-08-2018
by Lilli

This is a product I’d highly recommend to someone with dry to combination skin. Personally, I prefer cleanser that’s lather because, for some odd reason it makes me feel like it’s really cleaning it well. This product if very creamy. Almost like running moistureiser on your face. However, it does clean very well, even with make up on. It leaves your skin feeling very soft and hydrated. I find when I cleanse my face before makeup , I don’t need to use primer. It’s great.

Favourite Cleanser! - 02-08-2018
by Renee

I have just recently switched to this cleaser...and I'm so glad I did! My skin has been noticeably more softer and much more hydrated! It is very gentle on my senstive skin and is great for keeping my blackheads away! My skin is very hydrated and it cleans my make up off amazingly! 5 stars!

Do yourself a favour and buy this product! - 31-07-2018
by Sarah

I absolutely LOVE this cleanser! I have sensitive skin, prone to redness and breakouts, and I credit this product for 100% clearing my skin and reducing redness. My skin is so soft, hydrated, subtle and calmed after using the Alpha H balancing cleanser. Do yourself a favour and buy this product!!

Love it - 30-07-2018
by Ellie

This cleanser leaves my skin so cleansed. I have combination skin and this cleanser just improves the look of my skin. I have tried many cleansers and couldn't be happier with this product.
I use it every morning and night and my skin feels clean everytime.

Love this cleanser - 25-07-2018
by Haylee

This cleanser is so nice to use and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without drying it out, which I struggle to find due to my skin being so sensitive.

Best cleanser I've ever tried - 18-07-2018
by Lauren

I have skin that is prone to redness and since using this cleanser, it has reduced! I also use together the Alpha-H exfoliating mask (1-2 times per week) and my skin has not even changed shades! It has also changed the feel of my skin - it's super smooth! Absolutely amazing!

Love this - 17-07-2018
by Jaymes

Love this facewash. My skin always feels so good and refreshing after I use this.

Loooooove - 16-07-2018
by Charlotte

Loooove this cleanser.

It has a gentle fragrance and feels so smooth on my skin. I use with a muslin cloth to buff away any leftover makeup.

I have been using this product for about 4-5 months and have noticed that my skin is less irritated and oily.

I will certainly continue to use this.

The only downside is that the black dye on the packaging begins to run if stored in the shower.

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE - 12-07-2018
by Stacey

I love this cleanser. I have been looking for a very balanced gentle cleanser that actually helps my redness and I can safely say this has been helping. I've even recommended to my friends and they love it too!

Love! - 12-07-2018
by Samantha

This product feels lovely on my skin, i use every morning as a part of my routine and have dry to normal skin. It leaves my skin feeling fresh all day.

Great cleanser for breakout/blackhead prone skin - 11-07-2018
by theresa

I used to need intense facials regularly but after having used this cleanser regularly for a few weeks the need for those facials decreased. My black heads and number of breakouts are limited and under control. My skin has NEVER been better and I have 3 bottles as back up so I never run out!

Gentle cleanser to use - 11-07-2018
by Carolyn

I have been using the Balancing Cleanser for over 12 months and I can use it in all seasons. Even though it is a cream it's not too thick and it doesn't leave your skin oily. I can use it in summer and winter and I find it takes your makeup off really well too.My skin feels soft and moisturised all the time.

Perfect creamy cleanser for everday - 10-07-2018
by Noha

I found out my usual daily cream cleanser contains palm oil so I stopped using it (save the environment!), so I have been trying to find a new cream cleanser for a while now. I hadn't found a cleanser that didn't make me red until I found this product! I have dry and slightly sensitive skin and not only did this product not make me red it was really hydrating and made my skin look brighter! The cleanser comes out as this dense foamy product but after rubbing it onto a wet face it becomes very creamy and milky. Very gentle and doesn't have an artificial scent! I also love the packaging the lid fastens on tightly so it would be great to travel with and I love the sleek white and gold design. Would defiantly purchase again!

Great cleanser, gentle on the skin and it works! - 03-07-2018
by Em

This cleanser is gentle and it is great. It takes all my make up off, my mascara just melts off and it leaves my skin so cleansed. I have combination skin and this cleanser just improves the look of my skin. I have tried many cleansers and this product is the best one for me. I use it every morning and night and my skin feels clean everytime. Great product.

My favourite cream cleanser ever. So nice and gets off all the muck of the day off. I highly recommend this to everyone looking for a new calming cleaner.

Another awesome cleanser from Alpha-H - 09-06-2018
by Kirsty

Aside from Liquid Gold, the best things to come out of Alpha-H are their cleansers, in my opinion.

I buy both the Balancing Cleanser AND the Triple-Action Cleanser and use them both every day. The Balancing Cleanser is perfect for using in the shower at night-time, as I tend to use it with a Clarisonic rather than a face cloth. While the Triple-Action has a non-foaming gel consistency, this is more of a soft, fluffy cream.

As I tend to stay away from creamy cleansers, I thought that this might be too rich for my skin type (combination), but it's not at all. It doesn't have that heavy oiliness or emollience of other cream cleansers and rinses cleanly every time. Even oily or problematic skin types can use this cleanser!

Essential morning & second cleanse - 05-06-2018
by Heylauralouise

I have been using Alpha-H's cleanser for four months now and has absolutely solidified its self as a staple in my routine. I have temperamental combination skin that can dry out in winter or breakout if I use harsh products. But I use this cleanser in the morning, and in the evening as my second cleanse (after an oil-based cleanser), and my skin is clear, balanced and even-toned. In conjunction with Alpha-H's Balancing Moisturiser and Gentle Exfoliant cream, has even calmed my hormonal breakouts! 100% recommend.

My new HG Cleanser - 24-05-2018
by Frank

The milky/non-foaming formula is so gentle on the skin, your come out feeling so soft and supple! The cleanser doesn't seem to exacerbate flakey skin or acne (though everyone's skin is different).

You can use this cleanser with rotating brushes/Clarisonics, but I recommend you apply it to a wet face with your hands so you don't overuse the product. I use a pump and a half per application, but realistically you could easily use just one pump.

For those that like to pump into travel size bottles/containers - be aware: the formula starts to seperate 2/3 days after first exposure to air - but even then, i was able to mix back together and it worked as normal so win/win!

Gentle but effective cleansing - 18-05-2018
by Jan65

I bought this cleanser and the AlphaH cleansing balm and am loving both! The Balancing cleanser I use in the morning and it gives my normal skin a gentle wakeup for the day, it smells beautiful and I use it all over my face including around my eyes. At night I use this and/or the Cleansing balm, although this cleanser definitely would be enough to remove my day's worth of makeup (the balm is an extra spa type indulgence I'll never stop loving

AMAZING - 15-05-2018
by Neesha

This product makes me want to wash my face, which is amazing! It is so light and refreshing. I love how gentle it is, but also cleansing my skin at the same time. Great product.

Great, Fuss free cleanser - 08-05-2018
by Carlee

I will definitely keep buying this cleanser. As I have sensitive skin I find most cleansers leave my skin stinging and tight, this cream cleanser leaves my skin clean and dewy. I would recommend (if wearing heavy makeup) to cleanse twice

Nice gentle cleanser - 07-05-2018
by Tayah

Ive been using this cleanser for a couple weeks and am liking it overall. I have oily combination skin and tend to get break outs on my chin. This cleanser is very gentle- great at removing any left over makeup. It doesnt dry out my skin and leaves it feeling fresh, clean and hydrated. I am going to be trying another alpha h cleanser as I feel that this isnt strong enough to deal with my breakouts, but I will be using this in my morning routine instead. If you are looking for a gentle cleanser then this could be great for you.

Been a long time since I've used a cleanser consistently - 30-04-2018
by Ashleigh

For anyone who knows me, I find it very difficult to give any skin cleanser the right amount of time to start working. I purchased this after a coworker of my sister's told me that the brand owner cleared her cystic acne using this cleanser.

I do not have oily skin or cystic acne, but the convenience of a 3-in-1 cleanser is exactly what I need to condense my regime and stop me from chopping and changing. My skin always feels thoroughly cleansed and soft after use, and a slight tightness from the built-in toner but absolutely no dryness.

I had a couple of pimples and blemishes before I started using this, and although I broke out a little bit more after AGAIN changing to a new cleanser, these unsightly things have not lasted more than a day or two before inflammation and the raised bumps go down and my skin is smooth again. I LOVE THIS!

Nice creamy feel - 30-04-2018
by Melissa

I am 44 with dry/pigmented skin (age spots) and always aim to use an oil or cream cleanser these days. Whilst I tend to go for more organic or natural cream cleansers these days I got this as a sample and really liked it. I used it on its own in the morning and as a second cleanse with my oil at night. It smells good and feels good to use and I felt it did the job.

My #1 cleanser - 29-04-2018
by Megan

This has been my favourite cleanser for a year now.

I used to use the Liz Earle cleanse and polish years ago but got fed up with having to pay for postage and not being able to access it quickly when I ran out. This product is similar because you can use a cloth to cleanse or just rinse off.

It is extremely good for dry, normal, sensitive or slightly acne prone skin. Oily might not like it and should try their triple action or clear skin wash.

My mum who is nearly 60 tried mine and now wants her own so I think that says it all seeing that she doesn't spend this much on a cleanser usually.

Buy immediately - 12-04-2018
by cass

I'm about to re purchase this product is a goody. Skin feels refreshed and cleansed, supple and smooth

Awesome straightforward cleanser - 11-04-2018
by Cait

After a long period of using SLS based cleansers which stripped my skin and gave me that hyper-clean feeling, at first I felt like this wasn't quite doing enough.

But I have grown to love it - my skin is less dry and less prone to irritation. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin as it is very gentle. It does a good job of removing makeup although I tend to use micellar water as a first step.

Nothing bad to say about it!

Great cleanser - 11-04-2018
by Anastasia

I found that it does not hurt my skin or feel like my skin is burning.
I use it in the shower.
Will definitely buy again.

Soft and Gentle Cleanser - 27-03-2018
by Taylor

I love Alpha-H products. I have combination skin and can be quite fussy with my cleansers. This cleanser I have been using for well over a year and still love it to date. It doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and I generally much prefer cream cleansers over gel or foaming. I would recommend though using it twice when washing your face to remove make up. :)

Gentle and efficient! - 19-03-2018
by Sam (Staff)

My first experience with Alpha H cleansers was using the Triple Action. I loved the smell and the feel but it was too aggressive for my very sensitive skin. I then decided to try the Balancing Cleanser and I fell in love. I am already on my second bottle and I use it every single day. It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed and smooth. Perfect start to my skin care routine.

Good cleanser that doesn't strip the skin! - 14-03-2018
by Stacey

I have combination skin that often has red spot marks across chin/jaw/cheeks. I was looking for a gentle cleanser as I use quite active serums. I wasn’t a fan of the texture (almost feels like a moisturiser) but I can not fault it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean and removes my makeup too! After about a weeks use I have noticed my cheeks are no longer red and I can see my tone evening out. Not sure if just related to this cleanser but feels its teaming just nicely with my serums.

Wouldn't use it alone - 05-03-2018
by Cornie

I have to use non foamy cleansers as my face is dehydrated. I found this worked really well with my skin. It doesn't give that squeeky clean feeling and it doesn't feel like it removes all your make up so i wouldn't use it on its own. I always use a daily gently exfoliator anyway so this has worked well woth ny regime.

13 Out Of 10 Would Cleanse Again - 06-02-2018
by Brooke

This was my first product in the Alpha H range, and was bought out of desperation and was on sale at 25% off. I was wanting a change from a cleansing milk, as it needed sponges and cloths to remove. I wanted a product that lasted a long time, could travel easily, and completely clean my skin without drying it out to the stage where I end up looking like The Cryptkeeper (I hear he's nice, but seriously dude, hydrate).
Now I'm obsessed. Which is awful, because it is a higher price point, BUT it is absolutely worth every cent. My bottle lasted well over three months (a household record) and that was even with double cleansing on most days. You don't need sponges or a cloth, although it is a nice little treatment now and then, and it doesn't dry out the skin. I've noticed my skin is more balanced and behaves. It's a little bit creamy, and an a little bit milky, and a lot of bit amazing.

All-Rounder Cleanser - 31-01-2018
by Sonny

I have used this cleanser for years and just love it. I have normal/oily skin and I feel this cleanser really complements my skin. The name of the cleanser "Balancing" is a perfect description as it really does make your skin feel renewed and ready for a fresh start. It also removes eye make up and it's really effective in removing make up without feeling dried out.
This is the only cleanser for me.

Good cleanser - 18-10-2017
by Kitty

I bought this to try it out. I usually have combination skin that's been more dry recently. It cleans really well while still being very gentle and hydrating. I'd give this 5 stars if it weren't for the price.

Basic but good - 02-10-2017
by thepinkmushroom

I have combo/oily, acne prone skin. I used this cleanser for about 3 months, and it's pretty good. It doesn't do anything spectacular, it doesn't improve your skin, but it doesn't hurt it either. It's a decent, basic albeit overpriced cleanser. There is a slight moisturising factor to it, which is always helpful, your skin does feel a bit smoother after cleansing, but that's it. You can always find drugstore cleansers that perform just as well.

Verdict: good, basic cleanser, does the job, but you could probably get something similar at the drugstore for less.

Great Everyday Cleanser - 02-10-2017
by Samantha

I was quiet new to the Alpha-H brand when i tried this cleanser but i was not disappointed. It is the only cleanser i have used that leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh without the tight feeling. I use it everyday gor my combination skin and it has never looked or felt better!

Fantastic product and price - 03-08-2017
by Bec

I have extremely dry and sensitive skin. Previously i had been using a $70 cleanser which i had found after trialling multiple high end products. Recently i ran out and was frustrated by the cost of repurchase, so i decided to try something cheaper with similar ingredients and benefits. I have been using this cleanser for a week and absolutely love it! My skin has not been dry or flakey since i started using this and the hydrating day cream. It leaves my skin soft and without irritation. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone with dry, sensitive skin. The value is fantastic!!

Great product - 20-03-2017
by Marie

I have been using this cleanser for a while now maybe close to a year and am really happy with it. Ive tried many different products before including some very pricey ones and I find this not only is great for my skin but so much more affordable. I cant recall the last break out I had, this has definitely kept my skin in great condition, without drying out my skin or making it too oily. Really worth a shot depending on your skin type.

Makes my skin glow! - 10-06-2016
by Lauren

This product makes me want to wash my face! It is so light and refreshing my skin feels fantastic after using! I love how gentle it is, but that it is also cleansing my skin at the same time!

Great cleanser bad packaging - 26-04-2016
by Ms E

I have dry/dehydrated skin with a tendency for spots on my chin and cheeks. This cleanser is so gentle, takes off all my make-up including eye make up and doesn't leave a film. Afterwards my skin is refreshed but not tight. I do a double cleanse in the evening to get all my make up off. BUT the packaging is not great.

Great, gentle and effective product - 05-11-2015
by Sarah

I have oily/congested skin that can quickly change to irritated/sensitive with the wrong products so I tried this product as an alternative to the Alpha-H Clear Skin Wash and was really impressed! It removes all traces of oil, grime and makeup while calming, soothing and hydrating the skin. It also allows your skin to use it's natural defences to restore itself unlike other harsh washes that strip back the moisture and irritate. Leaves skin feeling clean, soft and subtle without that nasty squeaky feeling. Definitely worth the buy!

Gentle yet effective - 29-06-2015
by beautybabe

This balancing cleanser does exactly what it says. I have combination skin that tends to feel a little tight and dehydrated especially during the winter months. A lot of cleansers i have tried in the past strip my skin of too much oil where as this one gently cleanses all makeup and leaves my skin feeling so soft. It has a delicate milky texture which feels lovely to use. Favourite cleanser!

I received a small tube of this cleanser in the brightening/ anti pigmentation alpha-h pack and I like it a lot. It's great for mornings or a first cleanse at night. Has a faint yet pleasant scent and cleanses my skin (combo with hormonal breakouts) gently but also removes makeup, grime etc with ease. i will buy a full sized bottle when I've used up my existing gentle cleansers!

I love this cleanser and have re purchased 3 times, I have dry and sensitive skin but I still get a few pimples too. This cleanses beautifully, takes mascara and everything off. I often use it with a face washer and it leaves my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed but not stripped or parched.

I really like this cleanser. I find that with oily/combo skin anything which is to stripping can cause me to break out. This cleanser is great because it cleans thoroughly but does not strip the skin, I have been using it for about a month and am breaking out a lot less. The smell is pleasant and fresh and it is nice and easy to use. Once I run out I definitely buying the 500ml bottle

Love this cleanser. I have a slightly sensitive but normal skin, and it always leaves my skin feeling clean and soft after cleansing, never dry and stripped as some cleansers do. It removes my eye makeup and foundation very well.

Received a 15ml sample size of this (thanks AB!) and could be happier! I have combination skin that tends to be dehydrated. I do get eczema occasionally so I get flakiness ALL the time. This cleanser wasn't drying and really feels like it cleans your face without that feeling of "squeaky" clean. My face felt fresh, plump & oh-so clean!

This cleanser is just the right amount of creamy and gentle. It works well on my normal, slightly sensitive skin and I haven't had any major breakouts since using. My skin seems clearer and some of my redness has faded. I use this twice a day, on its own in the morning and then as my second cleanse (after an oily make-up remover) at night using my Mia. Will definitely buy again

The ultimate cleanser! - 19-06-2013

I have tried just about every cleanser on the market from $10 to $200 in an effort to control my combination skin (which has a major crush for blackheads). Most cleansers either strip my skin dry or add to much oil/moisteriser back into the skin or do nothing at all. This cleanser really really cleans your skin leaving it feeling plump and smooth without drying it out. I have used it for over a month now and my skin is the best it has been since I hit puberty!!!

All the way through, and into my late twenties, I experienced breakouts!! I tried expensive treatments, off the shelf "quick fix' remedies - everything. I was so embarrassed by my skin and when I was stressed I found myself picking and touching my face all the time.

Regularly I attempted to do something about it, so I went to (another) beauty spa, they used Alpha H and for weeks afterwards my skin was soft and spot free. I went back to the spa and took home some products. I don't go to the spa anymore, I only use Alpha H Balancing Cleanser (and other Alpha H daily routine products), my skin is spot free, smooth and hydrated. If they ever stopped making this product, I would literally be DEVASTATED!!

The best cleanser ive ever used - 18-09-2012

This IS the best cleanser I have ever tried. I was always on the lookout a cleanser that wouldn’t irritate my sensitive skin and leave it feeling dry and sore after a shower. This is my holy-grail cleanser and I can always rely on it for a full facial clean that’s very gentle.
I own the 200ml size currently. It comes in a very handy squeeze tube with an attached pop off lid. I find this very handy as you’re not unscrewing a slippery lid in the shower and it will never get lost. The mixture itself is very creamy like a moisturiser and not gritty at all. It has a slight fragrance to it that smells fresh. I use this cleanser morning and night. In the mornings it makes my face feel nice and fresh and ready for the day. At night it works a treat in removing my make up and giving me a great clean. After use my face never fells tight or sore. It always feels moisturised and soft.
I love this cleanser as it has never once irritated my sensitive skin. Before I started using this cleanser my face was sore from a previous reaction I had to another product on my eye lids. This cleanser from Alpha-H actually assisted in clearing it up.
It lasts me such a long time also, months and months, as you only need a small amount for each use and you get an effective clean.
This cleanser is suitable for all skin types. I strongly recommend this product to try. I love it.

I have tried both the Triple Action and Balancing cleanser and I must say I like the balancing cleanser the best.
Im prone to blemishes but Balancing Cleanser really works well to cleanse my skin without over stripping it. It really soothes the skin and leaves it less irritated.
This is a great staple cleanser to have and is reasonablely priced for such a large bottle.

I have always returned to this product. I still try others because I believe the hype, however my skin demands I return to this product. Worth trying.

this didn't really "do it" for me . It didn't make my skin feel really clean [i had some residue] & it didn't seem to do anything like clearing my skin etc . It is a milky ,creamy cleanser & would probably better suit a dry to dry/combo skin , not my combo prone to blackheads/ breakout skin.Disappointing as i love the Alpha h brand.

I have to go against the grain here and say this cleanser didn't really do it for me. It didn't feel like it removed my make up or really cleansed my skin. It actually reminds me of a less greasy version of sorbolene! It just felt too mild I think. I still use it now and again during a second cleanse. I really love Alpha-H products, but would not repurchase this cleanser.

A great cleanser! I really like using this one when my skin is misbehaving. It feels fantastic after just a few days.

Just beautiful. I have tried quiet a few cleansers and I can stop at this one. The texture is creamy and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. It also removes all traces of my IZ tinted moisturiser. Doesn't make my skin feel at all dry like others have.

This is one of the best cleansers i have ever used. It truly 'balances' your skin tone and helps control breakouts. Its a very light cleanser so won't remove a days worth of makeup so I tend to prefer it as a morning cleanser. Would definitely re purchase again and again!
